The Rope Cannon is an essential vertical mobility tool in PEAK. It allows climbers to fire ropes upwards, bypassing risky ascents and conserving stamina for critical moments.
Core Mechanics
- Launches a deployable rope that sticks to elevated climbable surfaces.
- Enables quick access to high ledges without pre-existing anchor points.
Optimal Use Cases
- Solo climbs: No teammate assistance required for elevation gains.
- Stamina preservation: Reduces energy drain compared to free climbing.
- Carrying heavy loads/status effects: Safer ascent mechanics when impaired.
Deployment Guide
- Equip the cannon and aim at climbable terrain within range.
- Ensure proper surface contact—failed shots waste the resource.
- Climb the deployed rope using reduced stamina expenditure.
Always carry one: Found in luggage bags during early-game stages. Its unpredictable utility can salvage otherwise unwinnable climbs.
